His Role in Politics Ibn Zubair
The majority of his life was in the fitna
Ibn Zubair takes the most aggressive approach
He was one for the battlefield and always felt a sense of justice
He was very close to Uthman
Uthman was very lovable and he was very soft and lenient
Angels were shy from Uthman
Ibn Zubair was devastated when Uthman was killed
Ibn Zubair went out with Talha and Ayesha
They made their way towards Ali
Ibn Zubair met his father when Uthman got assassinated
Ibn Zubair stood with Ali and reminded of the moment when Prophet said do you love Ali
Ibn Zubair said yes of course
Prophet said you will one day fight against Ali and you will be wrong
Ibn Zubair gave allegiance to Ali
Ibn Zubair said his father came and said look at me
His father showed his legs filled with wounds
His father said all these wounds were fought for the Prophet
Ibn Zubair says his father called him saying one will be killed as an oppressor or an oppressed one
Az Zubair felt he will die as an oppressed so he told his son to pay off his debts
Ibn Zubair sold all his property and paid of his debts
1/3 for his sons, 1/3 to pay debts, 1/3 for Abdullah's sons
Az Zubair said if you cannot pay off my debts than seek help from my master
Ibn Zubair said who is your Master and he replied Allah
Az Zubair was killed in his salah
Ali found out and said glad tidings for the killers of Zubair he will be in hell fire
Ibn Zubair payed off his debt and he had nothing left
Then He called O Master of Zubair then things started to open up
Ibn Zubair is constantly finding out about all this wealth
Zubair owed $2,002,000 dirhams
Ibn Zubair went to his uncle and asked for some help
Ibn Zubair said who will buy this land and he said O master calling to Allah
Then someone came and bought the land for $1,000,000 dirhams
Then he payed off half the debts
One time Ibn Zubair is in charge of Makkah
Ayesha gets a gift and she sells it
Ibn Zubair passed a comment that he will take her money and manage
Ayesha heard and said I will never to speak to Ibn Zubair again
Ibn Zubair heard and he felt so overwhelmed
He sent people to her to accept intercession
She did not accept the intercession
Ibn Zubair goes to the elders of Sahaba to speak with Ayesha
They walk in the Hujarat
Ibn Zubair goes behind the curtain and grabs Ayesha and starts crying
Sahaba tell him to forgive
Ayesha said I can't I took an oath
Ayesha forgave him and freed 40 slaves to compensate for the oath
Ibn Zubair and Ayesha had a very solid relationship
When Ayesha was passing away she sent her will to Ibn Zubair
She said bury me in Baqi with the other wives
Ibn Zubair prayed the janaza of Ayesha and carried out the burial
Ibn Zubair was quick to revolt against the tyrant
Ibn Abbas said No one has more right to Ibn Zubair
Ibn Abbas said Ibn Zubair is a pure chaste person
Ibn Abbas said There is nothing ing between me and him
Ibn Abbas and Ibn Zubair would compete in zakah
Ibn Abbas and Ibn Zubair would argue over figh matters
Ibn Abbas and Ibn Zubair were business partners
Ibn Zubair and Ibn Umar were also business partners
Ibn Zubair said I don't know who is more generous Ayesha or Asma
Ibn Zubair is leading the salah like the Prophet
Ibn Abbas said look to Ibn Zubair for salah of he Prophet
All the Sahaba has same opinion but different approaches
Hasan makes peace with Muawwiah
Hasan died 9 years later
the Ummah is progressing
Islam is spreading throughout the world
Muawwiah feels his life is ending
Muawwiah consults the people around who to rule next
The people of Sham had Muawwiah has leader since the time of Umar bin Khattab
Muawwiah is capable to lead the people of Sham
Sham had become a place of prosperity
Muawwiah decides to appoint Yazeed in 57 AH
7 people stood against
All 4 Abdullahs, Ayesha, Hussein, and Abdur Rahman bin Abu Bakr
Abdul Rahman bin Abu Bakr took the harshest stance and said he will kill Yazeed if he rules
Abdul Rahman bin Abu Bakr unfortunately died shortly after so he did not do anything
Ayesha dies a year later as well
The other 5 are left
Muawwiah leaves them alone and there is no violence taking place
60 AH Muawwiah feels ill and he reinforces the bayah to Yazeed all around the Ummah
The Abdillah and Hussein avoid it
The Ummah starts with Prophethood then Khalifah then righteous kings
Muawwiah is a righteous king
After Righteous kings are tyrants then Khalifah with accordance to Prophet
Abdillah and Hussein are in Makkah and Madinah
Muawwiah sends Ad Duhka that if you see Yazeed beware of people of Iraq
In Iraq governors are constantly being replaced and it was very volatile
Do not mess with them and if they ask you of anything do it
Satisfy the people of Iraq
Muawwiah said Take hold of the people of Sham like I did
Beware of 3 people of Quresh Hussein, Ibn Zubair, and Ibn Umar
Muawwiah passes away and Yazeed takes
Yazeed becomes Khalifah and takes his fathers advice
Waleed bin Utbah is the governor of Madinah and he is sent a letter from Yazeed
Yazeed tells him to find Ibn Umar, Ibn Zubair, and Hussein and have them give bayah to me
Waleed calls Hussein quietly
Hussein says I will do it publicly
Hussein then tells Ibn Zubair and Ibn Umar what happened
All of the them except of Ibn Umar flee from Madinah
Ibn Umar and Ibn Abbas did not agree with Yazeed but did not take any political action
Ibn Zubair and Hussein revolt against Yazeed in Makkah
Ibn Umar and Ibn Abbas came back from Umrah when Hussein and Ibn Zubair told them about what happened
Hussein gets letters from Kufa in Iraq that we give you our support
Ibn Zubair sets up in Makkah
Hussein considers these letters and he sends Muslims Ibn Akeel ibn Abu Talib to Kufa and told him do not take the main route
Hussein will come later if what people of Kufa said is true or not
Muslim bin Akeel gets to Kufa he starts to meet with people
Numan ibn Bashir is the governor of Kufa and he leaves him alone
Yazeed founds out about the revolt and Muslim takes bayah from 15,000 to fight Yazeed
Yazeed sends Obaidullah Ibn Ziad to Kufa to replace Ibn Bashir
Muslim bin Akeel goes into hiding
Ibn Ziad said if anyone is sheltering those against Yazeed will die
Ibn Ziad sends a spy and founds out where Muslim is
Ibn Ziad calls Hani bin Urwa and tells him do you have muslim with you
Ibn Ziad asked to get Muslim bin Akeel
Ibn Ziad hits Hani and locks him in the room
Muslim bin Akeel heard and tells Hussein to come right away
It was initially intended not to be violent
Muslim summons his people and they all abandon him
Ibn Ziad brings a whole army and Muslim runs and hides in the house
Muslim came out and was caught and was killed along with Hani
Hussein is telling Abdillah what is going on
All the Abdullahs stop Hussein from going to Kufa
Ibn Zubair said lets do it from Makkah
Ibn Abbas said lets do it from Yemen
Hussein was massacred in Karbala
News got out that Hussein was killed and the whole Ummah united against Yazeed
Ibn Zubair declared Khalifah and revolted against Yazeed in 60 AH
Makkah automatically gives him Bayah and so do the people of Madinah
Yazeed finds out and sends an army to Makkah
On the way to Makkah they hear of a revolt in Madinah
They redirect to Madinah and a Massacre happens where a lot of Sahaba were killed
They killed 5,000 people in Madinah
Muslim bin Ukbah led that revolt and he dies shortly after
Hussein ibn Numair is now in charge
Around the world people gives bayah to Ibn Zubair as they hear
Khawaritte align themselves with Ibn Zubair
Hussein ibn Numair decides to kill Ibn Zubair
Ibn Zubair was strong in Makkah
So they shoot catapults in Makkah
Ibn Zubair sets up tents around the Kaaba and they attached Kaaba too
Ibn Zubair was in salah and caught on fire so people took out fire
Ibn Zubair rebuilds the Kaaba in its original rectangular shape with two doors
Yemani corner and Hajra Aswad were original corners of the Kaaba
Muawwiah was young and religious
As he was dying the people told him to find a successor
He wanted to appoint someone like Umar like Abu Bakr did
But there was no one like Umar
He wanted to appoint a shura like Umar but there was no one like that
So Muawwiah died with no successor
The only Khalifah left in Makkah is Ibn Zubair
Ibn Zubair did not want anyone to be in his army who insulted the sahaba
After Yazeed died Muslims came to Ibn Zubair to give bayah
The whole world is under Ibn Zubair now
Some remnants of Banu Ummayah give bayah to Ibn Zubair
Ibn Zubair was the only Khalifah to rule from Makkah
Ibn Ziad talks Banu Ummayyah to revolt against Ibn Zubair
Banu Ummayah gives bayah to Marwan bin Hakam
Marwan Bin Hakam fights for Khalifah in Sham
Banu Ummayah had keys to Bait ul Mal and bought people off
Banu Ummayah reclaimed the Khalifah in Sham
Now there are two Khalifahs
There are the group of people in Iraq called the repenters
71 AH during Hajj there are 4 groups of Muslims
